Resolution

Gradescope is an online grading system that is available to all U-M instructors and students free of charge. It allows students to submit paper-based assignments via an upload process and allows instructors and staff to scan and upload paper-based submissions. Instructors can grade and annotate student submissions in Gradescope and import scores into the Canvas gradebook.
